When I see the rolling suitcase I figure the guy got kicked out of the house.

When I see a rolling suitcase, I figger there's a college ref working a high school game.
My all black shoulder bag is 25"x12"x12".

I used to have a shoulder bag, but it got heavy, especially during football and track seasons. I didn't want to burden my shoulders, as I teach sign language, and having an arthritic shoulder can be a problem. The rolling suitcase prolongs my teaching career.

That must make reporting signals to the table interesting!

I use a garmet bag on wheels. That way I can hang everything up between games and when game day arrives, I simply reach in the clost...fold and zip...then off I go. Keeps the dress clothes neater during the games as well.

As a former Boy Scout I always want to be prepared and the "old timers" around here are particular about the crew looking the same so I carry everything...regular shoes with high polish and patent leather...shirts with a flag and without (and I always bring extra pants just in case there is rippage). It has plenty of room and during the off season wifey and I can use it for travel.

With my shoulder bag, for a long trip [a couple + hours], I pre-pack the stuff in two 17"x12"x6" plastic boxes with lids. Jacket is loosely folded in one.

Mark,

No not each, I get quantity discounts.

I like the blimp bag, I grew up in Akron and my dad worked for Goodyear, I just didn't know at the time he could get me one!

I went with the roller bag last season and didn't care for it. I'm back to just your common duffel this year.

I used a personalized duffle for years, then went rolling a few years ago. I'd never go back. The last thing I want to do is carry a heavy bag across the parking lot after a game. Besides, I have no problem fitting all my gear in there where with the duffle things got cramped.

Funny you mention that. I bought it after my ex and I separated.
